Reviews over the

Park Tool IR-1.3

Fully met expectations

It would have been nice if an extra magnet with cord had been included so that you could 'fish' the cable to be guided. So we made this ourselves with fish wire and a loose magnet from the hardware store. It was just not possible to guide the entire cable from handlebar to saddle pin.

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied

Pros & Cons

It was impossible to fit the cover on an orbea alma frame without this tool, I had tried all possible ways but it was only with this kit that I succeeded, because the cover exit hole is very small and you have to use a lot of force, thanks to the high quality connector was possible. I'd like the packaging to be a little more organized, but that's just an aesthetic detail.

Pros & Cons

Very handy for routing cables without too much hassle.

Pros & Cons

Park tool normally has really good stuff, but I am not enthusiastic about this one

Pros & Cons

after some getting used to it, the tool works great.

Pros & Cons

Perfect to have when you have internal cable/wire routing on the bikes. As usual, fast, smooth and reliable delivery.

Pros & Cons

Very well thought-out product. Works even without previous experience.

Pros & Cons

I needed the tool mainly for routing DI2 cables through the handlebars, without which I could not have done it. Sure it can be done through the frame with other tools, but with the IR-1.2 from Parktool it is very easy and quick without leaving any nerves. Yes, it is quite expensive. However, as I am a hobby mechanic and have already built up several bikes, I found the investment to be sensible.

Pros & Cons

Internal cabling is very easy with this kit.

Pros & Cons

Internal transfers are no longer a nightmare.

Pros & Cons

I bought this product and frankly I'm very satisfied with it, not to mention the very attractive price.

Pros & Cons

Perfect for passing cables through frames. Saved my life a few times.

Pros & Cons

Without this tool, I would not have managed to pull a new internal cable for my fully's dropper post through the frame. In particular, the sharp bend at the bottom bracket is impossible to pass with a loose cable but with this tool it's still just short of a piece of cake. Must have.

Pros & Cons

Recently replaced new brake lines in Carbon frame and works perfectly.

Pros & Cons

Uilding a bike at how with di2 and internal cabke routing. Worked a treat. Well happy with it.

Pros & Cons

I initially tried the vacuum cleaner and cotton thread method for routing my cables, but after wasting 45mins I realised it wasn't going to work with my frame. So I ordered this tool and although expensive, it is excellent at doing the job and worth every penny. Having several options for attacking the job really helps. I think I used all of them on my frame.
